About Me

I live in Yangshuo, a very beautiful place in south China with amazing carst mountains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love couch surfing for the openminded people and for meeting polyglots/ people who speak many languages.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Egypt inside the big pyramid I discovered a hole above the tunnel. So I returned another day when it was less busy and climbed up there to find an secret tunnel . I felt like Indiana Jones :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to learn and teach languages (I teach English in China)
My dream is to speak 12 languages fluent, I am almost at half that goal.
I am a Yoga teacher and can give you personalised lessons every day.
